Overall Rating: 4.8 / 5 (Excellent)

Aloe Care receives high grades for its extensive coverage, 24/7 emergency response center, and synergy between equipment and a comprehensive caregiving app. Some of its service features, such as a voice-activated central hub, automatic fall detection, air quality and temperature monitoring, and cellular connectivity go beyond what other monitoring systems offer.

Aloe Care systems do have a one-time equipment cost, which makes the company's services a little pricier than other companies in the category. However, there are no hidden charges, no contracts, and full refunds are given if systems are returned for any reason within 30 days. Shipping is free and free lockboxes are available upon request. When you consider the amount of coverage they provide for different emergency situations and the cohesion between equipment, app, call center, and caregivers, The company's systems are an excellent value.

Finally, the Total Care bundle includes everything mentioned above (Smart Hub, Care Button, Mobile Companion) plus a Smart Fall Sensor for the bathroom, and two Motion Sensors that can be installed anywhere in the home. While professional installation is not needed, assistance is recommended to install Aloe Care’s Smart Fall Sensor. Aside from the equipment provided to the elder, Aloe Care has a mobile app for caregivers (family members and professionals) that can help the monitoring and care process. The app displays a ton of information, including recent motion in the home, the air quality and temperature, along with current weather conditions, recent motion activity, system status, check-in call history, and the elder user’s mobility history. A selected circle of caregivers, family, and friends can communicate among themselves and initiate a check-in call to the elder user’s Smart Hub or phone. The app also allows caregivers to create a health card for the user, which can include information such as lockbox codes, pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, and location of medications.

Aloe Care Reputation

Reputation and Certifications - 4.8 / 5

Being a relatively new company in the medical alert and home health monitoring industry, the company is not rated in the BBB or TrustPilot, and there are not many online reviews. However, the few that exist speak to the ease of installation and comprehensive coverage offered by the system.

In fact, CVS pharmacy chose Aloe Care as its provider for its white-label product, Symphony. This partnership demonstrates how highly Aloe Care’s products are regarded in the marketplace.
